Why did Overwatch blow up in popularity?
>>744738113It was an accessible shooter that capitalized on the (THEN) long-stagnant hero shooter format and had some pretty great character designs.
>>744738113I'm gonna ruin your porn thread with an effortpost.Blow up is the most opportune word to describe overwatch's launch. It was the biggest thing in gaming in 2016. Every person i know played it even if they never touched previous hero/class shooters like tf2 before. Then Jeff just kept making dumb decision after dumb decision. Balancing around ranked. Limiting 1 hero per game. Nerfing hard-carries into the dirt (season 1 genji, season 2 reaper, etc.) Until tankmeta happened in season 3-5 followed by dive with gorilla-nigger-man. Constant balance around esport slop. Then he stepped back after he completely shat on the genre and just gave up to make some dogshit minecraft clone based in california (lol).Every person who was at the center of it all and "pro" (OWL, lmao, what a fucking joke) is now a fucking washed-up hasbeen including people like XQC who spends his time doing nothing but feeding and getting boosted in Deadlock, trying to make a comeback, but can't and fucking SEETHES in all-chat every single game to the point where he's nothing more than a lolcow in that community and several others.It makes me so happy this game died so quickly and became nothing but a source of animated porn. All those faggots who thought some retarded game where tanks with 5 billion hp and shields was going to be viable and interesting long term deserve this fate.
